Q: Are you giving a discount for users of Day One Classic?

Q: Why are you charging for this update?

Day One 2.0 is the result of over two years of design and development. Paying for Day One 2.0 means that we’ll be able to continue to maintain and develop the Day One apps.

Q: Do I need to create a Day One account in order to sync?

Yes. If you want to sync your data to other devices, you’ll need to create an account which will enable Day One Sync. Learn More: Day One Sync and Day One Sync FAQ.

Q: Why can’t I use Dropbox and iCloud for syncing?

A requirement for 2.0’s new features was that we create our own syncing service—Day One Sync. Encryption and other features are dependent upon Day One’s server infrastructure.

Beyond providing these benefits, Dropbox and iCloud were never 100% successful for all of our users. We had numerous cases of data loss and duplication. This was not acceptable to us, so we’ve built Day One Sync from the ground up to be tailored to Day One journal data.

It’s taken considerable effort and investment, but we believe creating Day One Sync is the right thing to do for the stability and growth of the Day One platform.
